“with the republicans making no attempt at hiding the contempt they feel for us”
bxgrl, I think this paints Republicans with too broad a brush – and I say this as a registered Democrat (though I may re-register as an Independent). Unfortunately, what we hear the loudest in this country are the extremes of BOTH parties. 60% of the country is center/center-right, but the 60% always seems to be drowned out by the most extreme wings of both parties.
I liked Dinkins & supported him but he let a lot of opportunities slide.
Mind you, I’m probably the only person left on the planet who thinks Carter was a good president.
The whiney part of Bloomer’s voice is his own but the MA inflections & pronunciations also still sound alien in NYC.

Well, it looks like everyone needs a drink: The bar is open, what can I pour you? [Oh, and our glasses are clean here.]
“worm-off”??
i thought his whiney nasally voice was due to him having Neuticals??

ROFL Rob and Arkady!
